Abstract

This paper presents a mathematically rigorous proof for the existence of chaos in a modified Lorenz system using the theory of Shil'nikov bifurcations of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. Together with its dynamical behaviors, which have been extensively studied, the chaotic dynamics of the modified Lorenz system are now much better understood, providing a rigorous theoretic foundation to support studies and applications of this important class of chaotic systems. © 2003 Elsevier Inc.
